Choices
She stared at the man opposite her,
knowing that no matter how carefully she chose her next words, it wouldn’t

couldn’t remain friends; his expectations would overshadow that possibility.
Maybe someday; maybe never.
He was a good man and she had the utmost
respect for him but she couldn’t live a lie.

raced with excitement thinking about it.
She held his hand, took a nervous breath
and began to talk.
